On 23 December 2020, online presentations regarding a transport simulation case study took place between Thai and Japanese researchers. To report the assignment set at the last seminar session in November, the researchers had developed case studies on transport simulation. In total 17 participants were gathered from Kasetsart University, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Chiang Mai University, Kagawa University and Chubu University. Their case studies were highly praised by Prof. Masanobu Kii of Kagawa University, and Dr. Varameth Vichiensan of Kasetsart University. The presentations were on very timely topics, including, for example, before-and-after COVID-19 pandemic simulation by the Chiang Mai team, and a simulation of the evacuation from the Tsunami disaster in Phuket by AIT team. A doctoral student at Chubu University, Mr. Witsarut Achariyaviriya, constructed a simulation focused on enhancing Quality of Life (QOL) in Bangkok, which could promote a new work-life balanced lifestyle as well as solving traffic congestion issues.
